Essay About Earthworks Component Of The Road Construction And Works Program

Implement Civil Construction Plan
Assignment 1: Works programmingYou are required to prepare a works program for a road upgrade and sealing project as provided in the attached drawing. Background information, methods and equipment assumptions that are outlined in case study 16 are to be used for this assignment, but keep in mind that you are using a different drawing . The following points should be covered in your works program:Prepare a scope of works for the overall road upgrade and sealing project.Prepare a subset scope of works for the earthworks component of the road construction up to the final trim stage.Analyse the earthworks component of the job into major activities and identify operations and resources for each of these activities.Prepare a work breakdown structure outlining the resources that need to be supplied up to completion of the earthworks component of the job.Prepare a list of additional design specifications and drawings that may be required to complete the earthworks component of the job.Prepare a Gantt chart showing the sequencing and duration of construction activities that need to be undertaken up to completion of the earthworks component of the job.Analyse the cut and fill data to break the earthworks component into appropriate sections optimise the distances and directions for transporting fill material. Show calculations of bank, loose and compacted material to be moved in the excavation and fill process for each section.Determine plant requirements, production and time frames based on assumptions from method 1 – using scrapers to haul and win material from case study 16. The working timeframe for the earthworks component is 10 working days.Prepare a Gantt chart of machine requirements for the earthworks component of the project, with sub-sets for each earthworks section. The Gantt chart should show equipment usage and associated work tasks.ASSIGNMENT 1  REPORT WITH REFERENCE TO:IMPLEMENT CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PLAN Works programming17th March 2014Prepared by Kelly JamesTABLE OF CONTENTSExecutive Summary                                                                                         (i)1.    Acknowledgments                                                                                12.         Prepare a scope of works for the overall road upgrade and sealing project.                        2Prepare a subset scope of works for the earthworks component of the road construction up to the final trim stage.                                                                3Analyse the earthworks component of the job into major activities and identifyoperations and resources for each of these activities.                                                4
